To say that the blackforest is our favorite cake would be an understatement. Cherry, chocolate and whipped cream create a magical combination. Though I have posted my recipe for a traditional Blackforest cake, I was really looking forward to convert the cake into a bundt cake. Hence the Blackforest Bundt cake. This is my first time posting with the Bundt Bakers and after a couple of tries at bundt baking ( last month was coconut ) I have arrived at the following life changing decisions.
1) Buy a decent Bundt pan. I have no idea where I got the bundt pan that I have right now. It just doesn’t impart the beautiful ridges that bundt pans usually do. So please feel free to mention your favorite bundt pan.
2) Never bake a bundt cake on the night of posting. Yes I know Kelly from Passion Kneaded would raise her eyebrows. I just lied to her yesterday that I was going to bake it Yesterday. But I didn’t. I baked it today.
3) Never Lie about plans to bake a bundt cake. It’s bad bundt Karma. Plus they will catch you.
4) Learn how to photograph a Bundt Cake. This was one difficult cake to photograph. Add the added pressure of last minute baking, and photo taking and post writing. Back to decision no 2.
So there you have my story. Now that my life has been irrevocably changed by the bundt cake decisions, I am hoping I will do better next time.

Bundt cakes are hard to photograph, you did a good job with this, I like that filling oozing out. My favourite bundt tins are by Nordicware, they’ve a wonderful selection.
yum! this looks absolutely delicious!
This looks fabulous…that cloud of whipped cream on top is calling to me. I can only imagine how delicious this is. Beautiful bundt. xo, Catherine
My hubby’s fav cake is Black Forest, I will have to make this one for him!
Bad Bundt karma? Is that like Bad Bundt Mojo? I’ve heard that term bandied about. I can’t believe you didn’t save this one for the Hidden Treasures theme! What a beautiful Bundt with all those cherries peeking out, Anshie!
Your cake looks and sounds absolutely delicious! Thanks for joining in this month.
You’re too funny trying to lie about when you baked! It happens I guess.
I made my cake about a week ago but didn’t edit any of the photos or write a single word until late last night after work! What was I thinking?!?!? I was up until almost midnight trying to edit my post, and then got up extra early to check it one last time and start checking out all the other bundts.
Here’s to procrastinating and getting it done and done well at the very last moment!
I recommend checking out a pan from Nordic ware’s cast aluminum line. They’re a little bit pricier than flimsier pans but well worth the investment because they bake so beautifully.
Oh now, your cake looks just fine. You did give me a smile with your post though. Thanks for starting my day with it as I needed it badly.
